Fall for Whitman Day on Saturday
|
By the Office of Admission

Whitman College will be hosting prospective students and their guests on Saturday, Oct. 18, for Fall for Whitman Day. This is a great time for prospective students and their guests to visit campus in person to learn more about our community.
Whatever your position at Whitman, you have a vital role to play in welcoming potential students. Here are a few ways to help during this visit weekend:
|
- Smile! Be ready to turn a friendly face to people you pass on campus.
- Wear your Whitman College gear on these event days
- Please do not park in the spaces labeled for events or anywhere that blocks campus sidewalks or pathways.
- Sign up to greet guests and help them get to their next destination.
|
Thank you to everyone who engages with these students from the initial point of contact through their upcoming visits and decisions, answering questions and sharing what you love about Whitman.
